Princethorpe College

School Profile

The Princethorpe Foundation welcomes children of all denominations and provides co-educational, independent day schooling within the Catholic tradition from age two to eighteen years.

Our schools are characterised by their strong Christian ethos and pride themselves on providing a caring, stimulating environment in which children’s individual needs can be met and their talents, confidence and self-esteem developed.

We aim to encourage a lifelong love of learning and an understanding of moral values and to put young people on the road to happy and fulfilled lives.

“Princethorpe’s unique ethos is experienced immediately you walk through the big blue front doors to the College, a feeling that you are entering a very special place, a school like no other.”

The Senior School welcomes pupils from Crackley Hall and many other independent and maintained schools. Renowned for its combination of traditional values, forward thinking and excellent pastoral care, Princethorpe challenges and motivates its pupils to have high expectations academically and in sport, drama, art and music. They are also encouraged to develop a true sense of values and purpose.

32% of pupils in HMC schools across the UK received help with their fees in 2015/16 totalling £442 million in assistance....that's over £1.2m per day. £212 million of this was in the form of means-tested bursaries.

79% of HMC schools in the UK and Ireland are co-educational, 13% are boys' only and 8% are girls' only schools. 60% offer boarding in some form.

Pupils in HMC schools play on average between 5 and 6 hours of sports and games a week in over 40 different sports - double the amount played by pupils in state schools. 36 of the medals won by Team GB at Rio 2016 were by athletes educated at HMC schools.
